    ANY truck stop within 15 miles of the center of any city/area in excess of 750,000 people that doesn't have a pay-to-park policy.

    Example any of the trucks stops in the Davenport, IA area, Florence, KY area, Phoenix, etc

    Add in holiday weekends and the problem triples.

    It's all those oilfield trucks that sit there for days
    On end waiting for thier next load.
    I used to make it a priority to stop there to
    Get some of that awesome pizza at the bar across
    the street.
    I don't even bother anymore. It's not worth the
    Headache just trying to get thru the parking lot anymore.

    I agree. And the Pilot down the road is a nightmare.

    I guess it's a good thing that I can think of at least 20 places to park a semi within 10 miles of it ;)

    But that craphole Pilot near Cleveland gets my vote for the topic.

    Yea right before the 480 loop.

    -edit- the Pilot near that TA is in Nitro on 77 too, if that's what you're asking. The one near Cleveland is on 77 also lol

    I only stop there if I goof up BAD on fuel planning. Never staying the night.
